There was pillow with the inscrip- tion "Our Friend" from the New Haven column of artificial flowers, upon which WAS 8 clock, showing that it was 1:15 o'clock, the hour at which the deceased died. Underneath the clock was the inscription "The Hour Com eth."

Malcolm Forbes is reported to have said at the New York Yacht club house the night after the first race between the Volunteer and Thistle that he wished to sail match race with the Puri- tan against the Thistle.

Entertainments.

O1<A4A @ASO-'-1'
 By far the largest audience of the season greeted the appearance of Mir. Henry E. Dixey in his famous character ssAdonis" at the Fly perion Theater last evening. The phenomenal run of the piece in New York city and the success it has met with wherever it has been presented gave the audience reason to expect a performance of unusual merit. For once, at least, New Haven audience was not dis appointed. The management has had the good sense to surround MT. Dixey during his present tour with practically the same com pany which supported him for so many months at the Bijou Theater. The only ab- sentee worth mentioning was Miss Lillle Grubb, who is now playing at the Casino, and whose place was very acceptably filled by Miss Ely Kavanagh. In addition to the principals there was the same "happy, happy chorus" the "tigers," the gymnasts and large and efficient orchestra. MT. Dixey's tAdonis" consists of series of character sketches, the most noticeable being his imi- tation of Henry Irving. He is comedian whom every ybody ought to see and laugh at. The play was most enthuslastlcally received. Every thing MT. Dixey did and almost every thing any of the other performers did was encored again and again. This afternoon and evening "Adonis" will be repeated and there will be two packed houses.
 CASPER THE YoDLER.
 Bunnell's was crowded to the doors again last evening to witness the performance of Casper the Yodler" by the prominent young German dialect comedian MT. Charles T. Ellis. The play is we'll constructed and interesting and the scenery fine.
